2 Introduction Salix provide sustainable solutions to the challenges found in soil and riverbank erosion and restoration projects. We also specialise in spillway and shoreline protection, inland dredging, wetland ecological enhancement and habitat creation schemes. Either operating as a principal design & build contractor or a specialist sub-contractor, Salix installation teams, supported by strong in-house technical support. Salix are the only UK manufacturer and Europe s control and wetland habitat creation. Our in-house native wetland plant nurseries produce high quality pre-established coir products for small specialist schemes to landmark projects such as the 2012 London Olympic Wetland Park (front cover). Working in partnership with Tensar, Salix offer the world s highest performing range of Composite Turf Reinforcement Mats VMax C350, SC250 and P550. These soil erosion control products are used extensively for spillway protection, high energy watercourses, drainage channels and steep slopes often replacing hard engineering. We also manufacture a broad range of other bioengineering compliment the core products in our range. Utilising innovative bioengineering solutions, allied with our capabilities in more traditional civil engineering techniques, we aim to build with nature in delivering cost effective, environmentally sensitive solutions that compliment the natural environment, add to biodiversity and improve water quality. Salix solutions and products are often used within the context of the Water Framework Directive in order to achieve good ecological potential Contents Introduction Design Riverbank Erosion Control... 6 Lakes & Shorelines... 7 Ecological Contracting... 8 Wetlands & River Restoration... 9 Specialist Contracting Services Soil Erosion Control Products Our Products River Thaw channel restoration (before) From our foundation in 2004 at the National Wetlands Centre in Llanelli, Salix expanded into a specialist wetland plant nursery in the Gower, Swansea, during late Our business then grew again with the addition of a 20 acre wetland nursery in Norfolk during Salix are now the UK s largest producer of native wetland plants and we are the UK s sole manufacturer of coir rolls. Our Norfolk nursery is the largest producer of pre-established coir products in Europe. Manufacturing and contracting are now represented in the centre of the UK with our Midlands office. Salix are founding members of the European Soil & Water Engineering Group (ESWEG) a Europe- wide network of erosion control and bioengineering experts. Working closely with companies from France, Germany, Holland, Spain and Scandinavia allows us to expand our knowledge base and expertise. Collectively the members of ESWEG have completed over 1000 bioengineering projects. ESWEG are responsible for new, innovative products within the industry and carry out extensive research and independent testing. Further afield, Salix also have a close relationship with bioengineering companies in the USA and enjoy exclusive UK rights to a range of Tensar soil erosion control products which are now also manufactured in Europe.

3 Design From concept to completion, our experience, design capability and installation teams deliver sustainable bioengineering techniques that address the challenges found in scour protection, soil erosion, habitat creation and mitigation projects. Atkins has worked with Salix on a number of projects, c o l l a b o r a t i n g o n d e s i g n c o n c e p t, t r i a l l i n g a n d i m p l e m e n t a t i o n. We have found their experience valuable in delivering cost effective and environmentally functional solutions. The River Ebbw during restoration works We recognise that certain components of any project may require the use of concrete, steel or imported aggregates, however our designers always work to minimise the impact of these hard techniques, proving that a mix of hard and soft techniques can still be considered a bioengineered solution. Our past projects have demonstrated that there are cost savings in using bioengineering solutions in place of hard revetments and that our environmentally sensitive revetments are often more durable. Employing a solutions driven specialist such as Salix at concept stage can bring tangible benefits to your project. Salix can demonstrate solutions designed in accordance with the Water Framework Directive particularly in regards to ecological concerns in existing degraded bodies of water and the control of diffuse pollution such as sediment from soil erosion. Salix offer specialist advice at design stage to clients such as Contractors, Engineers, Landscape Architects and Ecologists. We provide design calculations and sections, performance data, specification sheets and indicative costs, and can often give value engineered alternatives to main contractors on site.

Insurance Salix carry Professional Indemnity Insurance for ecological works with specific cover for erosion control projects and their design. 4 5
4 Wetlands Riverbank Erosion Control Water Lakes based and Shorelines Civil Engineering Bank erosion is a natural process and is an important source of sediment for natural river systems. Indeed, certain habitats and species would not exist were it not for actively eroding banks. Where accelerated erosion occurs, usually as a result of human activities, watercourses, rivers and channel systems are thrown out of equilibrium and damage is done which nature alone cannot repair. This loss of natural balance can further threaten adjacent land with subsequent potential for damage to infrastructure and property. Salix are the UK s leading riverbank erosion control specialist, having undertaken many kilometres of bioengineering and structural revetments throughout the country. River Restoration We have a proven track record for providing effective mitigation solutions to help protect and enhance the status of aquatic ecosystems. Salix can provide a comprehensive range of services for lake construction and restoration. We undertake earthworks and dredging, lining, water control structures and wetland planting. From urban lakes to reservoirs and inter tidal shorelines, Salix can advise and construct suitable bioengineering solutions that stop erosion and provide diverse marginal and emergent habitat. Most bioengineering techniques are suitable for the long-term protection of eroding or exposed lake and reservoir shorelines. A wide margin of wetland plants absorbs wave energy whilst supporting valuable wildlife habitats. Salix work within the context of The Water Framework Directive towards achieving Good Ecological Status, or in the case of heavily modified water bodies- Good Ecological Potential. Salix are very experienced in working on all river types across the UK and are regarded as a leading authority for bioengineering techniques, which often form a key part of river restoration and enhancement works.

5 Ecological 4. Wetlands Contracting Wetlands and Habitat Creation Pre-established coir pallets at the Olympic Park Salix specialise in working within sensitive environments including SSSI s and SAC sites. We employ a highly trained workforce that has experience of working in such environments often using specialist low ground pressure machinery running on bio oils. We also have experience of access within sensitive sites using floating and amphibious machinery. Our expertise encompasses a range of mitigation measures creating new habitats for fish, newts, water voles and other protected species. We work with natural processes and materials to create robust, ecologically stable systems that do not require high levels of maintenance. Our solutions are found across many sectors including Rail, Commercial Development, Flood Defence Schemes and major infrastructure projects. We regularly work for statutory bodies such as the Environment Agency, Natural England, SEPA and Countryside Council for Wales. We also have extensive experience of working within the framework of the statutory consenting process for designated sites, and our innovative designs and sensitive approach to works on the ground assist our clients through this process. We have experience of implementing control methods to prevent the spread of invasive species and the relevant treatment. Our work here at Soham was specifically designed to provide habitats for water voles 8 9
